Inexpensive & simple vegan ricotta, by Beth Clifton

September 19, 2021 By Merritt Clifton

Vegan ricotta is so easy to make!

Starting with the Simple Veganista recipe,  I added a little soy milk and almond flour as my own contributions because nuts are pricey these days.

The blanched almond flour was only three or so dollars at the grocery store as opposed to $14 for whole blanched almonds bought in a package.

Double the recipe to stuff a large box of pasta shells.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 ½ cups cashews, pre-soaked in hot water for five minutes
  • 1 cup soy milk (or any plant-based milk)
  • ½ cup almond flour
  • juice of 1 lemon or 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 – 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast, optional
  • 1 small garlic clove
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • Himalayan sea salt & cracked pepper, to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

Blend: Drain cashews and blend with all other ingredients until creamy.

Chill:  You can use the mixture right away,  or refrigerate in a covered container until ready to use.

This recipe makes approximately 2 cups,  but doubling is recommended, not only to be able to stuff a large box of pasta shells but also because you will soon find other uses for your vegan ricotta.

    Thanks for the recipe. I am used to the ones with tofu but this one seems richer and creamier for sure!!

    I can also see this used in dessert recipes – minus the nutritional yeast, garlic, onion powder, salt and with the addition of a sweetener and maybe some carob chips and cinnamon or crushed nuts.
    Thank you for this – I’m inspired!

      Annoula I was thinking that myself. Cannolis call for ricotta. Possibly tiramisu with the right consistency. I see all kinds of possibilities! 🙂
